Is Iran pronouncing judgement upon itself? We know that Persia — modern day Iran — will be with Gog when they come against Israel. And we also know what happens to these nations at the end of the Gog-Magog war …

Ezekiel 38:5a, 39:11-12, “Persia, Cush, and Put are with them … On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.”

Revolutionary Guards commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari

By REZA KAHLILI – “Iranian analyst Alireza Forghani boasted today that Jerusalem, which he claims was invaded over 50 years ago by the ‘pig-faced’ Jews, will soon become a mass ‘graveyard’ for the Israeli people.

Forghani, a strategy specialist in the camp of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, boasted that every city in Israel will turn into a killing ground and the longsuffering of Muslims worldwide ‘will be justified by the mighty Islamic Iran.’ No one then will listen to the cries of the women and children of Israel, the author warned, when Jerusalem becomes ‘the biggest graveyard in the world.’

Forghani has also previously penned articles that laid out the legal and religious justification for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of its people, as well as the right of Islamic Iran to obtain the nuclear bomb.

Forghani said that former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, in his recent article ‘Changes in the Gulf,’ stated that the U.S. should pursue a broad strategy of engagement, containment and deterrence toward Iran. Such a strategy, Forghani argued, shows that the ’84-year-old Brzezinski has lost his reasoning’ and ignores Iran’s strategy of confrontation.

The Islamic government has pursued confrontation on political, military, economic and cultural fronts with America, Forghani said and referred to a statement by Khamenei, whom he refers to as Imam: ‘As long as the United States refuses to end its evil behaviors, negotiations and establishing relations with it is a dead end.’

The author said the strategy of confrontation is rooted in the Quran and a message by Allah (Quran, 2:193): ‘Jihad on infidels, killing them until there are no more sinners and sedition on earth and until all are Read more…

Khabar Online – “A senior Iranian cleric has warned the ongoing spiraling protests against a US-made anti-Islam movie have triggered the second wave of the Islamic awakening that would obliterate the United States.

‘This insult touched off the second wave of Islamic awakening and we hope that this wave would grow into a tsunami which would annihilate the US,’ Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, the top member of the Assembly of Experts, told thousands of clerics in the holy city of Qom on Sunday.

‘The Americans are frustrated. But if they are honest in their claims that they do not support this [anti-Islam] campaign they should punish the film director who has surrendered to police in order to stave off any repetition,’ he said.

Khatami said the blasphemous film is a ‘Zionist-American’ movie, adding, ‘This crime is led by the US and the Zionists.’

‘Today, the wave of global hatred is spiraling against you [the US] and if until yesterday, Iran was [the only country] against you [the US], today the entire Muslim world shouts the slogan of Down with the US,’ he noted.

Khatami dismissed the US justification of freedom of expression for its inaction against the blasphemous film. ‘They say people enjoy freedom of expression there. This justification is a lie. In your countries, nobody can speak differently from you about Holocaust. [Can you still claim that] you support freedom of expression?'” Read more.

By ADIL JAWAD and BASSEM MROUE – “KARACHI, Pakistan — Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam film broke through a barricade near the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed and more than a dozen injured.

In a move that could escalate tensions around the Arab world, the leader of the Hezbollah militant group called for protests against the movie, saying protesters should not only ‘express our anger’ at U.S. embassies but urge leaders to act.

… [P]olice fired tear gas and water cannons at the protesters in Karachi after they broke through the barricade and reached the outer wall of the U.S. Consulate, police officer Mohammad Ranjha said. The protesters threw stones and bricks, prompting the police to beat back the crowd with their batons. The police and private security guards outside the consulate also fired in the air to disperse the crowd.

One protester was killed during the clash, said Ali Ahmar, spokesman for the Shiite Muslim group that organized the rally.

An official with the main ambulance service in the city, Khurram Ahmad, confirmed they carried away one dead protester and 18 others who were injured.

All Americans who work at the consulate, which is located in the heart of Karachi, were safe, Rian Harris, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said.

Thousands more held peaceful demonstrations against the film in other parts of the country, including the eastern city of Lahore and the northwest city of Dera Ismail Khan.

The demonstration in Lahore was organized by Jamaat-ud-Dawa, believed to be a front organization for a powerful militant group blamed for attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 that killed over 160 people. The protesters shouted anti-U.S. slogans and burned an American flag.

‘Our war will continue until America is destroyed!’ shouted some of the protesters. ‘Dog, dog, America is a dog!’ chanted others.” Read more.

Reuters – “The head of Lebanon’s Shi’ite militant group Hezbollah on Sunday called for nationwide protests against a film mocking the Prophet Mohammad, saying the United States must be held accountable for the Internet video.

‘Muslims and Christians must remain vigilant in order to refrain from sliding towards strife. Those responsible for the film, starting with the U.S., must be held accountable.

‘All these developments are being orchestrated by U.S. intelligence,’ he said, adding that the U.S. government was using the excuse of freedom of speech in order to justify the continued broadcast of the film.

Nasrallah also called for demonstrations around Lebanon, including the southern coastal town of Tyre on Wednesday and the northern town of Hermel on Sunday.

The video, circulating on the Internet under several titles including ‘Innocence of Muslims’, portrays Mohammad as a womanizer and a fool…

Nasrallah’s speech came a few hours after Pope Benedict left Lebanon for the Vatican, ending a three-day tour in which he urged Arab leaders to serve justice and peace.” Read more.

ANP/AFP – “Police in the Kenyan capital Friday said they have arrested two suspects who were allegedly planning suicide attacks, and also seized six explosive vests and other arms and ammunition in an overnight raid.

‘These suspects wanted to use these arms to harm innocent Kenyans during Sunday church services,’ a police officer involved in the raid told AFP.

He said two other suspects still at large were being hunted by police.

Nairobi deputy police chief Moses Nyakwama Ombati said the two suspects detained, both Somali nationals by birth and naturalised Kenyans, were arrested at a house in the Eastleigh area of the city, known as Little Mogadishu.

He said the suicide vests seized were wired up to mobile phones complete with batteries and were therefore ready for use.

Ever since Kenya sent tanks and troops into neighbouring Somalia to fight Ismalist extremists almost one year ago, the country has been hit by a series of grenade attacks, explosions and shootings, sometimes against police targets and sometimes against either bars or Christian religious gatherings.” Source – Radio Netherlands Worldwide.

By Joseph Mayton – “CAIRO: An angry mob of Egyptians gathered around a Christian man’s home on Thursday evening, attacking the building and demanding the man be put to death for his beliefs. Police arrived as the mob grew in size, but instead of dispersing the crowd, the Christian man, Alber Saber, was subsequently arrested.

His charge? He was accused of being an atheist. The mob also accused him of disseminating the anti-Islam ‘film’ that has created massive unrest among Muslims in the Islamic world.

Saber has since been held by police pending an investigation. An online Facebook page in solidarity with the man has been created and accuses the police of torturing him during initial interrogations.

‘The Egyptian police protects violence and vandalism, and arrests the activist Alber Saber from his house after his house was besieged by some people who threatened to burn it,’ read a statement published on the Free Alber Saber page.

In a video posted on YouTube, the angry mob is seen demanding Saber be apprehended. Hundreds of angry protesters had gathered before police arrived. As Saber was hauled to the police van, insults were heard being hurled at the man, with many calling for his death due to him being an infidel.

‘I don’t want to live in a country that arrests people for being atheists,’ one Egyptian journalist told Bikyamasr.com. ‘An angry mob is attacking a man and police arrest the man and not the mob? That isn’t right.’

According to the Facebook page, Saber has no lawyer and is being detained for 15 days by police as an investigation takes place.” Read more.

Muslim Mob: ‘Why Are We Standing Down Here? Let’s Go Upstairs And Get Him’ – “On Thursday night, as demonstrators clashed with police in central Cairo over the anti-Islam amateur film that has sparked outrage across the Muslim world, Alber Saber was hiding at home. An angry crowd chanting Allahu Akbar was massed outside his door. Saber, a 27-year-old activist, had a long history of speaking out against Islamists in Egypt, and with religious passions running high, he had become the target for this angry mob. From inside the apartment, he could hear people calling him an infidel and debating whether to kill him on the spot. ‘Why are we standing down here? Let’s go upstairs and get him,’ his mother, Cariman Ghaly, remembers hearing as she pressed her back against the front door to keep the crowd from breaking through it.” Read more.
